Song Lyrics & Words
Tell me why the stars do shine;
Tell me why the ivy twines.
Tell me why the ocean's blue;
And I will tell you just why I love you.
Because He made the stars to shine;
Because He made the ivy twine.
Because He made the ocean blue;
Because He made you,
That's why I love you!
I really think that He above
Created you for me to love;
He picked you out from all the rest -
Because He knew, dear,
That I'd love you best.

Alternative Lyrics & Words
An alternative version that includes God instead of He
Tell me why the stars do shine;
Tell me why the ivy twines.
Tell me why the ocean's blue;
And I will tell you just why I love you.
Because God made the stars to shine;
Because God made the ivy twine.
Because God made the ocean blue;
Because God made you,
That's why I love you!
I really think that God above
Created you for me to love;
He picked you out from all the rest -
Because God knew, dear,
That I'd love you best.

Thank you! This dates back to my childhood at summer camp and I was thrilled to hear someone singing it again. It's one of the most beautiful ballads ever written, don't you think?
